[Info-vax] pedofilo spam

[Michael Moroney]

At one time I was going to ask whether "VMS" meant something in Italy or 
Italian since the idiot has been posting that crap here (and nowhere else I 
knew of) for quite some time. But until now, it was only once in a while so I 
always let sleeping dogs lie.

I have posted this before many times, but I will do so again.

Sometimes, like any large company, Google hires the wrong or incompetent 
people. I have a theory that, rather than fire them, Google reassigns them to a 
dungeon deep below their headquarters and assigns them a new task, which is to 
make Google Groups worse and worse, just to get rid of them.

When I originally came up with my "theory" they still seemed to believe in "Do 
no evil" as perhaps my wording may indicate.  I even had a job interview with
them after I got laid off from the VMS group, and I was half tempted to take me
to the Google Groups people were so I could yell at them.  :-)

Very interesting interview.
